uncle majic

I just walk up to someone and make a dollar bill float. After that, it's gravy.
Like Dr. Zizmor and Robin Byrd (NSFW) before him, Uncle Majic the Hip Hop Magician is a sort of enigmatic New York phenomenon that almost everyone knows about, but only from afar. Dude specializes in both performing and teaching "hocuz pocus," which includes "pulling pigeons out of midair" (that's right -- not doves, but pigeons, best known in New York as "rats with wings") at private parties for people like Russell Simmons, rapper Treach, and Alan Houston of the New York Knicks.

I discovered Uncle Majic's manic local TV commercial before stumbling upon his voluminous web presence, which includes an, er, zany (?) web site, video blog, and ganky photo collection boasting "celebrity clientele" (wait, Wendy Williams was once Asian?). Most intriguing is his grammatically disastrous bio, in which Majic says the only thing separating him from illusionist David Blaine is "a few thousand dollars." So, yeah, fork it over, would ya?

After the jump, some amazing videos of Uncle Majic.
